so, thursday evening we all headed down to the byu track for the fun run. i didn't know much about this race and i found out it was a mile race. i was beginning to hope he could finish the race... it seemed like a long way to run for him! i couldn't believe how many people came to this thing! every elementary in provo was invited. but nothing intimidated him, he was very excited and couldn't wait for his race!

he came in 20th place out of all the first graders and 4th place out of the boys in his school! he had such a blast and couldn't stop smiling! i was so proud of my little man. he can't wait for the next race and now he wants to run all the time. we told him for fhe tonight we could go down to the track and practice. we ran a bunch of races, all five of us! it was super fun!
